20s Crisis Podcast emmastenborn

How do we find balance with social media and discover the benefits with detoxing? And how is our screen-time affecting our wellbeing? In this episode we discuss our best advice for a positive and healthy experience with social media, and how it can improve the quality of your life.
Stepping away from our screens can be really challenging for many reasons, we discuss our own experience with this, and how to start taking breaks from social media. Let’s scroll less and live more!

In today's episode, we talk about the importance of finding your independence and trusting yourself to manage things independently. We talk about our experiences and how being alone has forced us to care for things by ourselves and not depend on our parents or friends. 
We also talk about how easy it can be to get into a pattern of being more dependent on your partner in a relationship and to lose your independence without even being aware of it. That is why it is crucial to find it even when you are in a relationship, because sooner or later we will find ourselves in a situation where we can not depend on others. Life gets so much easier when you know that you are capable of handling everything that crosses your path.

Sometimes trying to control the uncontrollable can make us feel frustrated, disappointed and stressed. Therefore we think it's important to recognize what you can control and what´s out of your reach. Realising that you sometimes need to let go of things and trust that the outcome will turn out good anyway can be very relieving. We can not control everything that crosses our path, it is simply impossible. 
In this episode, we will talk about our own experiences of needing to control things. Amanda also talks about how she during the last years has let go of control and does not feel like a control freak anymore. We also read a paragraph from our favorite book “the mountain is you” that explains how we can not hold other people accountable for our own expectations of them. 
We believe that it all starts with you and that's what you should put your effort and focus on.

This episode delves into the transformative power of establishing and maintaining healthy routines and habits. We emphasize the significance of creating these habits and sticking with them. 
Drawing from personal experiences, we share insights into our daily routines, highlighting practices such as limiting screen time and prioritizing morning workouts. These rituals not only contribute to physical well-being but also set a positive tone for the entire day. 
Throughout the discussion we refer to the influential book “Atomic Habits” by James Clear, which offers invaluable guidance on initiating and sustaining healthy habits. By implementing strategies outlined in the book, such as setting small, incremental goals, we can all be inspired to embark on our own journey toward positive change and self-improvement. 
We believe that these simple yet powerful practices can lead to a more fulfilling and balanced life.

In this episode, we talk about the constant pressure we put on ourselves regarding our bodies. Women have been exposed to comments and standards on how their bodies should look over the years and this has put a big mark on our mental health. Your body doesn't need fixing, but your relationship with it does. 
We lift the problematics of social media's unrealistic beauty ideals that constantly remind us that we are not enough and need to change ourselves. 
The truth is that our bodies are amazing the way they are. To have the ability to use it in different ways and to see that as the privilege it is. 
But keep in mind that we are still in the journey of loving our bodies. Our hope is to create a safe space to share our struggles and help each other overcome society's look on beauty standards.

Spring has officially sprung, and now is the perfect time to get out with the old and in with the new fresh energy. 
In this episode, we will talk about how we in the best way cleanse out before welcoming a new season. We discuss decluttering our physical spaces, letting go of possessions that no longer serve us, and creating room for what matters. In our social cleanse we dive into the importance of evaluating our social circles, setting boundaries and focusing on the relationships that uplift and inspire us. We believe that this will improve our mental health and make us less stressed and overwhelmed. 
We hope you will join us!
